Applications Now Open For Quick Impact Placebased Grants

0

Today, the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs announced that the Quick Impact Placebased Grant Program, a matching grant program designed to fund creative projects that spark community-wide conversations, is open for applications.

“This grant allows for communities to be innovative and creative when transforming a gathering place or bring energy to an underutilized community asset,” said Jodi Golden, executive director of OCRA. “Typically taking a lighter, quicker, cheaper approach, these projects although small in stature have tremendous impact across a community.”

Project funding ranges from $2,500 to $5,000, with a 50 percent match by cash or in-kind required. Eligible applicants can include community or civic organizations, local units of government or schools.

Golden said that eligible projects should be transformational and have a positive impact for the community and existing and underutilized assets should include a new or additional use. Examples of eligible projects include, but are not limited to:

  • Storefront transformations;
  • Pop-up shop and gathering spots;
  • Shipping container repurpose; and
  • Project-based learning.

The Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs encourages unique and locally inspired projects. Successful applications will demonstrate community collaboration, partnership capacity and meaningful public benefits. Applicants are encouraged to contact their respective community liaison to discuss project eligibility and competitiveness.

A new addition to the program includes an educational component, in which the applicant utilizes youth involvement in the intended project. Youth organizations who wish to fulfill learning requirements are encouraged to partner with an eligible applicant and will receive bonus points.

An informational video will be released on Wednesday, Jan. 16, that explains the program and new application process. Applications are due by 4 p.m. ET, Friday, March 8, 2019. Applications received after 4 p.m. ET, or paper copies will not be accepted. Funded projects will be announced on Thursday, April 25. For more information, click here.

Magistrate Judge Cherry Retires With Legacy Of Being ‘Consummate Professional’

0

IL for www.theindianalawyer.com

Northern Indiana District Court Magistrate Judge Paul Cherry has retired, ending a career that included six years as DeKalb County prosecutor and 15-plus years on the federal bench.

Cherry, who began his tenure as magistrate judge on Oct. 1, 2003, retired Dec. 31, 2018. His judicial colleagues recognized his contributions at a special session of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Indiana, Fort Wayne Division, on Jan. 11. Judges from the district court, the Northern Indiana District Bankruptcy Court and the Indiana Court of Appeals, as well as justices from the Indiana Supreme Court, attended the ceremony. Also, state court judges from Allen, DeKalb, LaGrange, Lake, Noble, Steuben and Whitley counties were at the event to offer their congratulations.

“Judge Cherry is the consummate professional,” Northern District Chief Judge Theresa Springmann said in a Monday statement. “His knowledge of the law, unequaled work ethic and exceptional judicial demeanor made him a tremendous asset to the bench and bar of the Northern District of Indiana. His contributions to the Court will be greatly missed.”

Joshua Kolar has succeeded Cherry as a magistrate judge in Hammond. An investiture for Kolar is planned for later this year.

A 1977 graduate of Ohio Northern University School of Law, Cherry started his legal career in private practice in DeKalb County. He served as the county’s prosecuting attorney from 1982 to 1988, then was elected to the DeKalb Circuit Court in 1989. In 2003, he moved from state court to federal court.

Cherry completed a National Judicial College course through the University of Nevada and is a graduate of the Indiana Judicial College.

Throughout his career, he has maintained strong ties to his undergraduate alma mater, Huntington University. He graduated in 1973 and returned to serve as adjunct faculty from 1980 to 2002. Also, he was a member of the university’s board of trustees from 1984 to 2007.

Indiana Prepares For Early Issuance Of February SNAP Benefits

0

February Benefits Will Now Be Distributed On January 16, 2018

The Indiana Family and Social Services Administration has been informed by the USDA the state must issue Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits for the month of February on Wednesday, January 16, 2019, rather than the previously-reported date of Saturday, January 19.

In Indiana, SNAP benefits are usually issued to recipients according to an alphabetical schedule over a 19 day period throughout the month. This one-time early benefit distribution was identified by USDA officials as a mechanism provide SNAP benefits during the partial federal government shutdown.

No SNAP benefits will be issued in the month of February, so recipients are strongly encouraged to budget their SNAP benefits to ensure the amount received provides for their food needs through the entire month of February. January benefits are being distributed according to the normal schedule. FSSA will continue to accept and process applications for benefits for January issuance through January 31. 

FSSA remains in contact with federal partners and will provide further updates if warranted.

All Delphi Murder Investigation Tips are Investigated

0

At the request of the Delphi multi-agency investigative team, which consists of members of the Carroll County Sheriff’s Department, the FBI and the Indiana State Police, the following information is being provided to the public and media:

The Delphi multi-agency investigative team, and participating agencies continue to receive media and public inquiries asking about the person arrested January 8, 2019, in Union City, Randolph County Indiana for allegations of sexually related crimes against children and if he is connected to the Delphi investigation.  The team is aware of this arrest and will investigate to see if there could be any connection to the murders that occurred in Delphi, Indiana on February 14th of 2017.

It is important for the public and media to know that many similar tips and arrests of other persons alleged to be connected to the Delphi murders occur with some frequency in and outside of Indiana.  Each tip – whether it receives media attention or not – is investigated for any connection to the Delphi case.  That said, members of the Delphi multi-agency investigative team do not speak to specific actions or steps of the ongoing investigation.

Capt. Dave Bursten, the Chief Public Information Officer for the Indiana State Police, commented, “We know it’s hard for the public and media to resist posting side-by-side comparisons on social media of people who are alleged to have committed heinous crimes and also resemble the sketch of the Delphi murder suspect.” Bursten continued, “The only positive result from these actions is it keeps this open investigation in the mind of the public.  What we really appreciate is when the public submits their tip information to either the tip email address of Abbyandlibbytip@cacoshrf.com  or calls the tip line at (844) 459-5786 to pass along their information.”  Bursten concluded, “I can promise you this, when an arrest is made of a suspect identified by the multi-agency investigative team as the alleged perpetrator of the Delphi Murders, rest assured, we will let everyone know.”
